Dem slammed for saying abortion is consistent with Catholic faith: ‘Go to confession’
Rep Rosa DeLauro argued that 'social justice, conscience, and religious freedom' are 'fundamental tenets' of the Catholic faith
By Andrew Mark Miller | Fox News

Democratic Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro was blasted on social media Tuesday over a tweet explaining why her Catholic faith inspired her to "defend a women’s right to access abortion."

"I am a Catholic — baptized, raised, and confirmed," the Connecticut Democrat posted on Monday along with a link to a statement from Catholic Democrats explaining their opposition to the repeal of Roe v. Wade on the one-year anniversary of the decision.

"The fundamental tenets of my faith compel me to defend a women’s right to access abortion," she added. "I am proudly part of the faithful large majority of US Catholics who support legal protections for abortion access."

DeLauro’s tweet was widely panned and "ratioed" on Twitter, primarily by Catholics who pointed out that Catholic teaching views abortion as a "moral evil."

"The Catholic Church declares abortion a grave moral evil, a mortal sin, rejecting Christ in the baby killed," conservative commentator Liz Wheeler tweeted. "You can’t be a Catholic in good standing & support abortion. By supporting abortion, you are rejecting Catholicism & Christ. I encourage — & pray — you will go to confession."

She is truly an idiot.

One of the reasons Live Action founder Lila Rose converted to Catholicism was the number of Catholics she worked with in Pro-Life endeavors.

I wonder if Rosa DeLauro has ever heard of Pope Paul VI. As Pope, he articulated "The fundamental tenets of (the Catholic) faith" for some 15 years.

She is truly an idiot.

I think the euphemistic term is "Cafeteria Catholic".

But she wears such stylish glasses!!!

The Sisters of St Joseph and Pope John Paul II taught me otherwise ...



Catholicism is not a democracy - it's all or nothing - there's no cafeteria or buffet of beliefs to choose from.

What!!

Where on earth is it written in Catholic Doctrines, teachings..etc...that women should have access to abortions..cause I sure missed it over the years...

When you can identify as whatever you want then reality is very far, far out the window. There is no foundation under anything in that world.

Since even pope socialista has said:
On the subject of birth control, the Catechism of the Catholic Church states that “legitimate intentions on the part of the spouses do not justify recourse to morally unacceptable means (for example, direct sterilization or contraception).”

Even though that was said a year ago I seriously doubt church doctrine, even under him, approves of infanticide any more today than it has historically. This "woman" like Pelosi, Biden and the rest who claim to be Catholics are simply evil minions of Satan.

[sneakypete]

I have  to confess that I am not a Catholic,never been a Catholic,and never WANT to be a Catholic,but   I STRONGLY suspect she is full of "Biden".

Don't Catholics kick people out of their cult if they promote abortions for ANY  reason,even to save the life of the mother?

And THIS yahoo is claiming it is just peachy-keen  to have a "convenience abortion"?

Yoo Hoo,Pope Dude! Cleanup on aisle 1!

I am NOT going to thank you for posting that. Chances are I'm not going to get much sleep tonight after viewing that photo.

Can you  imagine rolling over in bed one morning and discovering THAT laying beside you?

If THAT wouldn't get you to quit drinking,nothing would.

I don't know what you have to do to be excommunicated..I would think people like Pelosi, Biden etc would have qualified years ago....I do remember reading that these two are forbidden to receive Holy Communion...but all they did was find a priest who would do it..

@GtHawk

Serious question: "Why don't the Catholic honchos just throw people like this out of their churches?"

After all,there can be NO question that they don't follow church doctrine on a very important issue to the Catholic Church.

The right for Catholics to butcher their babies, came well after The Germans decided it was a right to call anyone late term and abort them, concentration camps just simplified the practice.
So much 'good' in the world, butchering anyone not on their plantation, like democrats practiced in the old South.
And there politics well supported and practiced today!  Many of them lie and denied just like they did so long ago. They are still a judgmental group, and lovers of lies hypocrisies/murder.

Hate to break the news to you at this late date,but there were plenty of slaves in the northeast. One famous Dim President,whose name I can not remember at the moment,even had slaves before he became President.

There WERE some states that banned slavery,but IIRC,they were all western states with  practically no  population but  the new white settlers and a few Native Americans.

Well, California did join as a State that was free.  It was large at the time, not nobody....

The Constitution set a population threshold to be eligible to become a state For some reason California had a large influx of people in 1849 and passed that threshold, becoming a state (IIRC) in 1850.

Mexican rule of California was pretty inept. There were several attempted rebellions in the early 1840s, with the final one started in 1846, around the same time as but independent of the Mexican-American War. American forces came in 1846, with Commodore John D. Sloat (I'm surprised SF hasn't renamed Sloat Blvd), and after several battles Mexican Californians gave up, making California American territory in 1847.

In February 1848 the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American War, formalizing the Southwest becoming US territory, with the US paying, IIRC, $18M in gold or silver, with interest added after the first year, and the US assuming Mexican debts from Texas' War of Independence (which had been arbitrated by the UK). About a week before the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed gold was discovered in the Sierras. At the time the treaty was signed, that discovery was not known (no Internet, no telephones, and no telegraph communication to the town of Guadalupe Hidalgo) and the US bought a large territory of pretty much unknown quality.
